Is anyone here bulimic? Any tips on how I can stop?

Question

I want advice on how i can stop my ED. I know its bad for me, and i get scared just thinking about the damage i'm doing to my body, especially my teeth. I don't want people to tell me that i should see a counselor or stuff like that, because my parents don't know and i don't want them to find out. Don't tell me that i shoudl tell my parents either.
besides exercising and eating healthy, what can i do? i'm already doing sports all year. i swim in the winter, play lacrosse in the spring, and run a few miles a day over the summer and fall. i'm trying to eat healthier now too.
Is anyone else bulimic here?

Answer 1

try this if you really want to lose weight, but you can find support groups in your surroding area by going online and googling support groups for belima and also add your state and county,

make sure you are really dedicated, ask a friend who you know wants to lose a little, it is easier to lose weight when you have a friend with you. . .

also make sure you eat breakfast!
some good breakfast ideas are
-fruit and cereal
-protein shakes
-smoothies and fruit
-granola bars and fruit
-oatmeal and fruit
-eggs(try not to use butter or oil use water to "grease" the pan)
-veggie omlet

***make sure you eat breakfast within an hour of waking up, and make sure portion sizes are small enough to keep you full for a couple of hours

mid morning snack- make sure you have a small snack within 2-3 hours after breakfast some ideas. . .
-a piece of fruit
-carrots,celeray with lowfat dip about 2tblsp
-nuts
-smoothie
*****this should be light just to hold you over until lunch*****

lunch should be within 2-3 hrs after mid morning snack
remember to keep it light and not heavy.
-turkey on wheat with lowfat mayo and lettuce and tomatos + a piece of fruit or vegetable + granola bar + snack sized bag of baked chips
-soup + salad, with low fat dressing + breadsticks

*make sure portion sizes are decent, no overdoing it*

mid-day snack is usually 2-3hrs after lunch
-vegetables with lowfat dip
-nuts
-fruit with lowfat yogurt
-cup of yogurt
-jello
-smoothie
-snack size bag of chips that are baked or pretzels

supper is 2-3 hrs after you eat your mid day snack
-chicken (3-4oz) and pasta (3-4oz) with reduce sodium tomato sauce
-soup + salad lowfat dressing + breadsticks
-meat (3-4oz) + pasta or rice or potatos + fruit or vegetables

**********PORTION SIZES ARE KEY***************
it is also better to eat 5 times a day then to skip a meal, if you skip a meal the food you eat next stays on your body as fat, so keep eating 5 times a day that way your metabolism is always going.

good luck

also try cutting back on soda/pop if you drink alot of that and sugar, try not to eat any of that because it just adds empty calories

also make sure you excersie at least 30 minutes a day and walk as much as possible

Answer 2

Well, it's different for everyone. I'm anorexic, - used to be bulimic - and it takes time. I didn't have the same kind of eating disorder as your girlfriend does but it relate's. In these cases of insecurness, she needs someone around her, like you, to support her and go trough these moments. It goes away after a while, sometimes girls with bulimia suffer of depression or low self esteem, maybe she should see a doctor if she is willing to get better. Hope this helped! Good luck

Answer 3

Seek counseling help- even a school counselor or someone like a best friend. I'm sorry to tell ya- but you'll never get past it without talking it out and coming to a conclusion of why you started to harm your body. You need to start believeing in you again and see the beautiful woman beneath YOUR image.
Other than that i'd say start a journal of what you eat, etc. and make yourself eat a certain amount of foods per day. Good luck !

Answer 4

You have a very serious disese that is probably going to need serious help, I know you don't want your parents to find out, but you should try calling a rehab center for that, i don't think they are alloud to tell your parents or anyone else without you saying its ok... either way though chances are that most people can't just stop on there own without some kind of outside serious help..

Answer 5

I have a website where you can talk to other bulimics and read their stories. http://www.shareyourstory.net.tc

Answer 6
